Using the Route Replay Feature in Map View

Starting in version 25.07, the Route Replay feature allows users to visually replay the execution of a route, including GPS breadcrumbs and driver status, directly from Map View. This tool is designed for reviewing and analyzing driver behavior, comparing planned versus actual route pathing and supporting operational audits and exception investigation.


Accessing Route Replay

To access the Route Replay feature:

  1. Go to the Map View and select either Dispatch or Track mode.

  2. Right-click on a route (with GPS points available) from either the Routes or Map quadrant.

  3. Select "Replay Route" from the context menu.


  4. The Route Replay window will open, displaying the route and replay controls.

Note: The Route Replay option is only available for routes that have recorded GPS points. If you do not see “Replay Route” in the context menu, it means that GPS data was not received for that route.
